The worst defense in the NFL

Our defense cannot be considered a professional football defense. Back ups or not, they should at least qualify as NFL talent and they don’t. Injuries happen but this is some next level bullshit. fug Evero and his so called defensive unit that plays like homeless ass. 

I mean it's the least talented defense this franchise has ever fielded and that is if we were at full strength with no injuries. Did you think that would get better starting former Home Depot stockers from the PS?

Nope, but what we’re seeing on the field isn’t an accident, it’s years of methodical fugery that won’t end anytime soon. My ire is directed at the F.O. that created this shitshow, not the players that should be at Home Depot.

Oh absolutely. None of these guys created this scenario. Bryce didn't trade for himself. TMJ/Mingo/XL didn't over draft themselves. Miles Sanders didn't sign himself to an absolute goofy amount of money.

This is what bad ownership looks like. It isn't even remotely unprecedented. There are ample examples of what we are going through in the past 25+ years from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. 

Bad owners hire bad management, who hire bad evaluators and all of them hire bad coaches and/or bad talent. 

This is what this was supposed to look like.

Between the injuries and the JAG's they have playing, this has got to be the worst bunch they have ever had.

Totally unable to stop any thing and just flopping around missing tackles with zero pass rush.

After watching this team for 20 plus years, I can honestly say this is the worst I have seen. They should go full defense in the draft regardless of any other needs.

No matter who the QB is, they can't win with this defense.

No... We need to draft BPA - hopefully our front office can actually assess talent this go around. There honestly isn't 1 position I would say we are strong at outside of maybe RB if Brooks looks good. Maybe oline, but it never hurts to have oline depth.

We need to stop taking the philosophy of only draft XXX positions when we are like 3 very good drafts away from being mediocre. Just start building talent for when our next QB is drafted/ready to play.

Donte Jackson just got an INT against the Cowboys as I was typing that lol. 

And Donte was covering CeeDee Lamb when he got the pick for the Steelers.

All these former Panthers excelling when they leave makes you think…

And Frankie Luvu left Carolina for less money to play in a better system?  lol the Commanders were the 32nd best defense last year.

We knew about Luvu better than anyone. Can't make him do what you want him to do, if he isn't onboard with it. Should we have hired Quinn to keep him happy? 

Maybe so. But that wasn't happening.

 

edit: I am removed from it now but wasn't a big thing with Jackson, that he wasn't reliable to be playing a full season? 

Horn had the same concerns and we were locked in there, did you want to double down? I think that was a legit question.

But the bottom line is he went for another piece for Bryce. Theme of the last two years.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
